To be completely honest, I don't really care if it was a joke. What you thought was a joke was a very real threat to me, and considering the circumstances, you're lucky I only scratched your ship. Threatening an officer of the law, whether they be LPI, Navy or even the LSF, is grounds for very real punishment by the law. I don't think I need to inform you that we're at war, and if you're willing to barter credits over the life of a Liberty Navy Commander, then you honestly don't get to fly within Liberty space. That, however, is not my decision, so consider yourself blessed in that department.

I don't expect you to understand everything, but I have very real issues that I need to keep in check regarding both my worklfe and my personal one. I don't intend to let idle 'jokes' get past me and shrug them off like they were wind. I have to analyze everything, everyone, and every place to make sure things don't go balls up.

So no. I'm not going to apologize, and I will not admit that, for whatever reason you think, I am racist. I am not a racist, and I intend to stay that way. Rheinland and I have a very strong connection that I do not intend to screw up, and seeing as how many of my friends are from there, I doubt the words of one little petty freelancer will change their opinions. Enjoy your visit in Liberty, and I don't have to tell you that the next time we cross paths, you had better be on the correct side of the law.
